There was a question from the notecard activity on Tuesday about how to find CDs.

The easiest way to identify a CD is to go to "Find ..." - "Music & Audiobooks" in the top, left corner of the Randall Library website: http://library.uncw.edu/music_audiobooks. This allows you to search or browse.

Once you have a call number you'll go to the cabinets of CDs on the first floor of Randall Library. These are closest to the DVDs. You'll see call number ranges on the outside of each cabinet. Match your call number to the drawer that has your call number range. Keep in mind that sometimes CDs are missing so you can always ask for help at the Circulation Desk.

When we visited our Archivist and asked her about the cost of parking tickets early in the university's history, she said that she didn't know but would find out. And she did!

She says, "The first mention of parking fees was in the 1963-1964 student handbook. The fee was 25 cents and it was refundable if plate was returned in good condition. The next year it went up to 30 cents."
